Shoot Three - "Paris - Montmatre"

Columbia - had to think a little on that land on two oceans! But before we announce last week's followers, an apology to Mad Mike. He correctly identified Russia but I inadvertently left off his name - I trust he is not MAD at me any more.

And, for Columbia  we did hear from Joani, Michelle, Milt, Elaine, Peyton and Mike (although he ended up next door in Ecuador).

"Montmatre Street Poster"

The Montmatre section of Paris is so named because it was where St. Denis was martyred, hence, "the Mountain of the Martyr."

Sitting high atop this area is the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. 

Montmatre was also the home of many of our famous artists - Picasso, Lautrec, Dali, Monet, Pissarro, and Van Gogh! I know I saw many originals by these men during my museum visits in Paris.

For me, this poster shouted, "Paris!"
